Jamie Mcmurray has had a very under the radar but very cool career. Guy has won like 8 races, but it includes a Daytona 500, World 600, Firecracker 400, Brickyard 400 and a win in the All Star Race.

 

[Johnny G]

Oh and he won the 24hrs of Daytona lol

 

[R Clarence]

Does that mean he won like 9, or unlike 9 since they were different.

 

[Johnny G]

Just checked 7 cup wins plus the all star race. He's had a good knack for making them count.

 

[R Clarence]

Heh, heh...

Thanks.

 

[Johnny G]

Lol I wasn't wrong. 7 plus and all star is "like 8". I'm counting it. Could of worded it better but I'm counting it. Lol

Just spent 2 hours going through this thread. What a trip
through memory lane. Had to copy a couple of those images.

I been thinking about this lately ..... I wish there was a way to
demonstrate to the new generation what the sweet smell of leaded
exhaust and burning rubber was like.
